The Constitution does not say that the President is "the economic leader." The Constitution says that the President is the Chief Executive. That means, he is in charge of the branch of the federal government which strives to ensure that laws are faithfully executed.
In modern times, the President provides leadership in the sense that he tries to rally public support for any kind of policies that he wants to support, economic or otherwise. If the President wants to cut taxes (or raise them) then he says so publicly and he talks to the members of Congress to get their support -- because it will be Congress that actually cuts taxes (or raises them), not the President. Presidents campaign for their goals. They try to persuade the public and/or Congress.
